How are you sure about that?

And your point? Someone who has superior attributes isn't always the superior combatant.

Most men will never say that they are better than their teachers. Many men surpass their teachers, but few who honor them will say that they are superior. Then again, Paul Vunak studied with Inosanto for 5 years before venturing off and making his own system. Inosanto spent his life learning FMA and JKD. I would hope that Vunak would acknowledge Inosanto as his superior.

Neither have I. However my statements were made to illustrate that Bruce didn't know what it took to easily beat most fifteen-year seasoned martial artists because he had been shown by those martial artists that he could be beaten. If it was so easy and only took a year of training, he'd have done it.
